0:00.0	Welcome to the Empowered Wife podcast where it's all about fixing your relationship without your
0:13.2	man's conscious effort so you feel desired, taking care of, and special even if your
0:18.8	relationship feels completely hopeless. I'm Laura Doyle and today I'm talking about how to be loved the way you are.
0:26.0	I'm going to share three cheat phrases from the language of vulnerability, which will help you be more authentic and therefore more attractive.
